Chapter 255: Night Walking
Bianliang City is not closed at night, the city gate is not locked, it is a city of light without night.
At this time, there is a brightly lit big boat on the waterway of the Bianhe River that leads directly to the city, and on both banks, there are many people who ride horses, sit in sedan chairs, and walk on foot, all hold lanterns, the styles of the lanterns are varied, the colors are colorful, but each lantern has three clearly recognizable big characters of "such as Snow Fang".
This is Yang Hao from some modern enterprises in order to market customers, to provide customers with their own corporate logo umbrellas, paper bags and other ideas and come up with ideas, not much money, but the effect is excellent.
The night market in Bianliang was already extremely prosperous, and suddenly there was such a fire dragon entering the city, which attracted the attention of countless people, fortunately, Yang Hao had already informed the Yacha of Kaifeng Mansion, and they all knew that there was such a move tonight, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee that no one would rush back to the government to beat the drum and warn.
The big ship is lit up everywhere, bright as day, a high pole at the bow of the ship, a string of red lights on it, and the big characters of "such as Snow Fang" are hung, the bow of the boat, headed by Liu Duoer, countless young girls wear apricot blossoms and pear blossoms, look at the railing under the lamp, laughing and singing warblers. On the banks of the Bianhe River on both sides, there are countless people carrying lanterns singing and walking.
BMW carved cars fragrant road Bianliang Street added another scenery, brightly lit, like a paradise on earth in the painting building downtown area, many people rushed out to see the gorgeous painting boat that entered the city under the arch of the two fire dragons. The silk and bamboo orchestra in the brothel of the green building is endless, and the guests who have been planning more than once heard the sound of hugging the waist of the young girl to climb the small building, and are surprised to see the laughter and laughter on both sides of the Bianhe River resounding throughout the city in the hazy night. There were also many people with their children and daughters in the Washegou fence who ran to the banks of the Bianhe River in a hurry.
In the past, the boats on the Bianhe River were very dense, but tonight there seemed to be an agreement, many boats disappeared, all of them made way for the painting boat, and on the surging Bianhe River, only the big boat stepped on the rolling water, with a boat of lights and music, with countless starlight lanterns on both sides of the river, and came mightily. The reflection enters the water, the light and shadow are intertwined, the painting is poetic and pleasing to the eye...... The refreshing night breeze and blurry lights, the fortune teller also left his stall, holding the Tai'a sword made of gold paper in his right hand, and holding the banner of "Cutting the world without learning with the same voice" in his left hand, squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement. At the right time, fireworks were suddenly set off on the ship, and suddenly thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed in the high night sky, pushing the joy of the people to a new **.
The Song Dynasty valued business, but the business atmosphere of the Song Dynasty and the cultural taste were very integrated, rich but not vulgar, bold but not stingy, the water and milk complement each other, with a lot of mood, no wonder some people say: "I remember that the youth is happy, and the lights are on the Fan Tower in the middle of the night." "I never forget the prosperous scene of Bianliang...... The lifters try to be as happy as possible, and they are not afraid that someone will accuse him of a ridiculous inaction that delays the future, and the too stupid etiquette and religion defense has no market in today's Great Song Dynasty, from the official family to the people, what is advocated is a music, the official music and the people's music, the world is happy, and the people are not allowed to live happily, what do you want?
"Demolish, let me continue to dismantle!" An inopportune sound suddenly came out of the boundless laughter and laughter, Cheng Dexuan came out of a small alley with a disgraced face, and he didn't know who threw a bag of stove ash into his face from the dark, he ran out angrily, heard the laughter on the Bianhe River, and hurriedly stood on the half-demolished low wall at the entrance of the alley and looked there.
He also knew that Yang Hao had invited Liu Xing of "Ruxuefang" to take a trip to the countryside tonight, and knew his arrangements to return to the city tonight. From a distance, he seemed to be able to see Yang Hao standing at the bow of the boat, surrounded by incense, and his face full of spring breeze, and a nameless anger couldn't help but go straight to his heart.
He stood there gritting his teeth, and a national curse was just about to be exported, "Wow! Out of nowhere, a man rushed out, brought a basin of water, and threw it all on him, "Uh...... Phew, who's splashing the official with foot-washing water, come on, catch that Diao Min for me! ”
Cheng Dexuan spat out dirty water, furious, the little common man who was waiting for revenge because of the demolition of his firewood shed lost the clay basin, fled in a puff of smoke, and got into the bustling crowd watching the excitement on the side of the Bianhe River and disappeared.
"Kill me angrily!" Cheng Dexuan was like a human wolf about to transform on a full moon night, looking up at the moon and howling, turning his head and ordering in a very deplorable manner: "Demolish, dismantle, continue to dismantle!" Piece tile ~~~ does not stay! ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ same night, a large ship quietly sailed into Stone Town. Stone Town is the Nanjing of later generations, Jinling of today, and the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
There are only a few lights hanging on the ship, illuminating a faint line of big characters on a big flag: "Zhenhai Jiedu", there are many neatly dressed soldiers on both sides of the ship's side standing quietly, the ship arrives at the dock, quietly docked, the dock defenders inspect the identity of the comer, immediately put the gangplank on the boat, and a general with bright armor and a crimson cloak will come ashore. The physique is strong, the dragon and the tiger are stepping, and the majesty is extremely strong.
In the dark on the bow of the ship, a pair of bright eyes watched the big red cloak of the general's hunting in the wind disappear into the night like a bat, and murmured: "I hope that Lin Huzi's trip can convince Li Yu, then I will sell it!" ”
Stone Town was now in a deep sleep, and the city was silent, except for a group of galloping chariots and horses heading straight for the palace, and the sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the alley.
In the palace, Tang Emperor Li Yu had not yet fallen asleep, quit the government, changed the monk's clothes and ceremonies the Buddha, recited the scriptures, Li Yu bathed and changed clothes, changed into a loose and fitting uniform, and played chess with the queen in the harem.
His current queen is called Little Zhou Hou by people outside the palace, because the queen's sister Zhou E Huang was originally Li Yu's wife, the queen, and after Zhou Ehuang died, Li Yu continued to accept her sister Zhou Jiamin.
The combination of this emperor and Xiao Zhouhou was actually quite dissatisfied with the gentlemen of the Tang State. Because the first queen Zhou E was dignified and virtuous, she was extremely popular in the country, but during the queen's illness, the little sister Jiamin visited the palace, but she had a personal relationship with her brother-in-law Li Yu.
The queen finally knew the truth, the queen died of illness, but many people thought that if the emperor was not so romantic, she had fun with her sister during her serious illness, which made the queen depressed, and she might not be sick, and she died suddenly, so she was dissatisfied with Li Yu after accepting Xiao Zhou again.
The monarchs of the Tang Dynasty were all the wives who were married before the emperor, and there was no emperor who was married to the queen during his reign, so how the emperor accepted the queen, unprecedented in the history of the Tang Dynasty, could not follow the old etiquette, in order to vent his anger, when discussing the acceptance of the ceremony, the ministers of the court and the central government used the excuse that they did not understand the ceremony of accepting the queen.
How can Li Yu's life be inseparable from singing and dancing, surrounded by beauties? The queen died of illness, he had lived three years of cold and deserted court life according to the ancient rites, and saw that the ministers were prevaricating and prevaricating, and the day of marriage was far away.
Because the time was wrong, the wild geese had already flown south, Li Yu simply replaced the wild goose with a white goose, and as for the ritual music, he even used the inappropriate bells and drums, and couldn't wait to welcome Xiao Zhou Hou into the palace when the winter snow was falling.
On the night of the emperor's wedding, Han Xizai and Xu Xuan, important ministers of the court, gathered friends for a banquet and wrote poems to mock him in public. But he is really obsessed with Xiao Zhouhou, the two have been married for more than two years, among the concubines, he is the most favorite, always this little queen, the two worship Buddha together, play chess together, he also helped the queen develop dyeing clothes, flour, really affectionate.
At this time, Li Yu was playing chess with Xiao Zhouhou in the harem "Jindongtian". Li Yu and Xiao Zhouhou are all a romantic factor, the flowers are in full bloom in spring, the couple put the palace beams, window sills, walls, steps and other places are full of flowers, even the palace maids are arranged with flowers, and build many beautifully decorated small pavilions in the flowers, surrounded by light and semi-transparent red silk on all sides, the inside is very narrow, can only accommodate two, as soon as the interest comes, they hide in the world of these two people to drink poetry, play chess, love lingers, and do not avoid the palace people.
Zhenhai Festival made Lin Renzhao enter the palace at night, and when he heard that the emperor had not rested, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Please know all the officials, Lin Renzhao has 100,000 urgent matters to see, please meet the officials immediately." ”
The inner court knew that Lin Renzhao had a heavy army, and he was the first military general of the Tang Kingdom, and he must have something important when he came late at night, but he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately entered the harem to see Li Yu, and when he arrived at a small pavilion, he saw a thin layer of silk Luo surrounded by a small tent, and the lights in the tent were in the palm of his hand, and the shadows of the two people were clearly revealed.
There was a slender and hazy shadow behind Siluo, and he didn't dare to look at it more, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Official, General Lin Renzhao of Zhenhai Festival has something important to see." ”
A coquettish smile came out of the silk brocade tent, as pleasant as a yellow bird: "Official, you have no way to go for this move, right?" ”
Li Yu's chess face was trapped by Xiao Zhouhou, and he was thinking hard about how to break the siege, and after listening to the advice of the inner court, he responded casually: "Lin Renzhao is here?" He didn't want to stay in his own place, what did he do when he came to the capital so late? ”
The inner court said with a smile: "The slave and maid don't know, General Lin is in the dust, and there seems to be a very important matter, and the slave and maid dare not ask." ”
Li Yu chuckled and said, "What can be important?" He waved his hand, the inner court didn't dare to say more, after thinking for a while, Li Yu's eyes lit up, picked up a chess piece and put it on the ground, laughed and said: "Queen, won't this time be over?" ”
Lin Renzhao was dressed in military uniform, walking back and forth in a side hall, and the five red candles in the shape of plum blossoms on the silver candlestick also swayed back and forth with his figure. From time to time, he would rush to the entrance of the palace, look at the harem, rub his hands again and again, and then pacing again.
Time passed little by little, the candle tears rolled, and the candle had burned more than half, but before the waiter knew how to return, Lin Renzhao raised his eyebrows, angry, and secretly wondered in his heart: "These pigs and dogs are not as good as eunuchs, they are greedy and despicable, and they don't know how powerful, could it be that because they didn't allow him benefits, they deliberately delayed me?" ”
Lin Renzhao is brave and good at fighting, he is the first military general in the Southern Tang Dynasty, known as the "Tiger Son", and the army is respectfully called "Tiger Shuai", with a strong temperament, when has he been so pickled, but after all, this is the palace, even if he has a fire in his belly, he can only endure it, only stop from time to time, look up to the sky and sigh...... This game of chess was finally played, Li Yu won the wife, laughed, and the inner court who had been waiting outside for a long time breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called again: "Official." ”
"Hahaha, the queen's chess strength has grown so fast, and now it's not easy to win you with a son and a half. Not? What's up? ”
"Official, General Lin Renzhao of Zhenhai Festival has something important to see, and he has been waiting for a long time?"
"Oh!" Li Yu then remembered, slapped his forehead, and said to Xiao Zhouhou apologetically: "Late at night, Lin Huzi is still disturbing people, it's really a bad scenery, the queen will go back to the palace to rest, and I will come when I go." ”
In the side hall, Lin Renzhao was already sweating profusely, and the attendant came in a hurry and said happily: "General Lin has been waiting for a long time, and the official family will see you in Chengxin Hall." ”
"Humph!" Lin Renzhao's face turned pale, and he brushed his sleeves away, leaving an inexplicable servant there.
In Chengxin Hall, Li Yuping retreated left and right, listening to Lin Renzhao's secret recital. When he heard Lin Renzhao's astonishing plan, Li Yu, who was pinching his eyebrows and closing his eyes, was taken aback, stood up suddenly, and said in a lost voice: "How can this be, isn't this a fire?" ”
Li Yulong's forehead and teeth and double pupils in his right eye, according to physiognomy, are the image of a natural saint. The forehead augmentation is actually a wide forehead, and the teeth are relatively neat buckteeth, and the double pupils are adhesion distortions in the pupils according to the medical interpretation of later generations, commonly known as pair eyes. But in ancient books, it is believed that this is a natural vision, which is unspeakably expensive.
Although Li Yu was born with a different appearance, but these subtleties can not be seen without careful observation, he is only thirty-four years old now, plump, dignified, wearing a Taoist uniform, showing a graceful atmosphere, but at this time he was stunned, his mustaches were upturned, and his beautiful hair was awe-inspiring, and he was really frightened by Lin Renzhao.
Lin Renzhao proposed to him an astonishing plan: the Northern Army of Jiangbei was now attacking the Southern Han Kingdom. After the destruction of Nanjing, Houshu and other countries, the Song army was tired, not much grain and grass, and now the army was sent to the Southern Han Dynasty for a long time, which was a great opportunity for the Tang Dynasty, Lin Renzhao asked for the order to lead the troops to attack the Song and Song dynasties, recover the lost territory, and reverse the situation. How can Li Yu not be surprised?
Lin Renzhao explained: "Official, the opportunity must not be lost, this is a rare good opportunity, if we can recover the lost territory in one fell swoop, we don't have to rely on the river as the only battle." If the Northern Expedition can be smooth, directly take Bianliang, the whole world is at your fingertips, even if it fails, the Song army that invaded the Southern Han Kingdom will also be frightened to return to the aid when they hear the news, rushing back and forth, exhausted, we can contact the Southern Han State, so that it can be chased and killed, and I will set up an ambush, the Song State will be greatly damaged, and the danger of my Tang State can be solved. ”
"If it doesn't work, it won't work," Li Yu waved his hand and shook his head again and again: "If the Song people don't come to invade the south, do we want to take the initiative to attack?" Such an unwise move is absolutely not feasible. ”
"Official!" Lin Renzhao was in a hurry, and immediately knelt down: "Official, Zhao Kuangyin is very ambitious, he is not going to destroy the Tang Kingdom, but now he is just unable to do it, once he is allowed to destroy the Southern Han Dynasty, the next one will be my Tang Kingdom." If the official family is worried about the revenge of the Song people, the minister is willing to bear it, only ask the official family to allow the ministers to give the tiger an arrow, let the minister lead the troops to the battle, and supply the military food and grass, if it succeeds, it goes without saying, if it fails, please ask the official family to govern the ministers for a crime of rebellion, kill my whole family and apologize to Zhao Kuangyin, so, you can protect my Tang country. ”
"It doesn't make sense, it's not feasible!" Li Yu bluffed his face and said: "Go and go, go back to your camp, be safe, don't provoke me to cause trouble, otherwise, I will never spare me." ”
Li Yu said that he would raise his legs and leave, Lin Renzhao grabbed his sleeve, took two steps on his knees, and said with tears in his eyes: "Official, the sky is a good opportunity, it is related to the fortune of my Tang Kingdom, please think twice." ”
Li Yu said angrily: "I have already thought twice, if the Song people dare to come to attack my Tang Kingdom, I will wear armor and be sharp, come to the river in person, lead my Tang Kingdom Tiger Ben people, and teach them that there is no return." But the Song State did not have a bad relationship with our Tang State, but took the opportunity to raise troops and provoke trouble for himself for no reason, how could it be done by a wise man? Hugh wants to say more, I don't want to hear it! ”
Li Yu pulled back his sleeves and brushed them away, Lin Renzhao slowly stood up and looked up to the sky and sighed...... Li Yu was annoyed, the big tiger in Bianliang City, he really didn't want to provoke, Lin Renzhao actually came up with such a stupid plan, it was really stupid. He hurried away, and the chamberlain didn't know what Lin Renzhao had provoked the emperor's anger, and he didn't dare to say much, but he followed him step by step.
Li Yu walked for a while, his face suddenly changed, he raised his face to look at the bright moon in the world, pondered for a moment, and said: "Declare the decree, order the prince to live in the palace...... Well, no, he is still young and can't take on the heavy responsibility, so King Congqian of Lingji was appointed as the supervisor of the Zhenhai Navy, and immediately rushed to Zhenhai to monitor the three armies, and there must be no mistake. ”
"Yes!" The chamberlain looked at him in horror and turned away hurriedly.
Li Yu has two sons, the second son died early when he was four years old, and the eldest son Li Zhongyu is now fourteen years old.
Lin Renzhao returned to the dock overnight, only to see that his big boat was like a fierce beast lying on the ground, lying down with the waves, as if waiting for his order at all times, opening his teeth and dancing claws to choose people to devour. He walked up with heavy steps, and halfway through, he looked back at the stone town where the black pressure stood solemnly, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
In the dark place on the bow of the boat, those bright eyes saw Lin Renzhao's depressed expression, and they didn't feel gloomy...... At this time, the large painting boat in the Bianhe River has sailed to the "Ruxuefang", and the unfinished people carry the lanterns with the words "Ruxuefang" written on them, scatter to both sides of the Bianhe River, like a group of fireflies to scatter the name of "Ruxuefang" to the entire city of Tokyo, and tomorrow, tonight's fiery dance, white-clothed chants, and the sword dance of the fairy flying outside the sky will be recited through their mouths and their pens.
Cui Dalang looked at Yang Hao with a smile and asked, "Today is a big success, how will you treat tomorrow?" ”
Yang Hao smiled and said, "Tomorrow, you will know tomorrow." ”
Cui Dalang's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "If there is a shortage of money, hehe, how about I join the gang?" ”
Yang Hao laughed and said: "Today's matter, thanks to Da Lang, even if there is no shortage of money, I am willing to pull you into the gang, there is money...... Everyone earns. ”
Cui Dalang also laughed and said: "Let's be happy together!" ”
